Speaking under the auspices of the

Y. M. C. A., E. T. Colton, of New York, secretary of the international committee, addressed a group of business men at the Commercial club Saturday afternoon, and at the South Eighth Street Friends' meeting Sunday evening. Mr. Colton has been associated with John R. Mott in the foreign work of the association and is an eminent authority on mission work. Mr. Colton confined his talk to the development of the Chinese government and the education of officials. The examinations which the Chinese are subjected to before they are allowed to hold a public office was explained. "Books the size of the English Bible are committed to memory by the Chinese. They are forced to write verbatim a book the size of the Bible in one form of examination known as the eight-legged essay." How the Chinese are improving under Christianity was explained by Mr. Colton, who also stated that the results of the "opening of the Chinese ports in 1900 by the foreign allies will eventually exceed the results of the French revolution.

GORGEOUS CHORISTERS.

Boy Singers of th Private Chapel In St. James' Palace. There are-ten boys in London who every Sunday and on state occasions wear suits of clothes that la each instance cost something like $200. The lads thus expensively and brilliantly attired are the choristers belonging to the king's private chapel in St. James' palace. When arrayed ia their state Huits they are truly a gorgeous sight. Scarlet cloth is the foundation of this costume. Bands of royal" purple between rows of heavy gold lace are the adornments. Old lace ruffles arc worn at the neck and wrists.. These ruffles are so valuable and so difficult to replace that they are worn only oa the most special occasions. At other times white lawn '"bands take theh place.' The boys must take great care of their suits, which must endure three years. The "undress" suits are replaced every eight months. ' This choir is one of the historical institutions of Great Britain, and many of its old time customs, including the dress of the boys, are retained to this day. "The choir has numbered among its singers such distinguished musicians as Sir Arthur Sullivan, Edward Lloyd, Sir John Goss and Dr. E. J. Hopkins. It is the right of the head boy to demand a guinea as "spur money" from auy officer entering the chapel wearing spurs. sit is said that when Arthur Sullivan was head boy the Duke of Wellington would always come spurred to the chapel, in order that he might have the pleasure of paying the forfeit to hi? favorite chorister.

exist with reference to the charity ball to be given in the Coliseum on Wednesday evening, the writer has been asked by its managers to give publicity to the fact that all the latter will be present and will be on the dancing

floor. As stated elsewhere the grand march will be led by Mr. S. E. Swayne, president of the Commercial club and chairman of the finance board of the Associated Charities, and Mrs. Paul Comstock who has charge of the management of the ball. The management made the price fifty cents for single admissions because they desired to give everybody who wished to contribute to the Associated Charities through this medium, an opportunity to do so. The sale of tickets has been extensive, but among the most solid element of the community, and the dance will be one of the leading social affairs of the winter. The members of the committee and all those interested in the ball's management will be among the dancers and anything said to the contrary is said without proper or accurate information It is a healthy indication of community life when a concerted effort is made to interest every class in the one

i of our most deserving charities.

It is a good thing for the representatives of varying social coteries and sets and cliques to get together now and then in one big social affair.Social life in the average town or city is apt to resolve itself into more

jor less isolated groups. j Who go their little round year in, year out, with little knowledge or com

prehension of the kindred doings of their neighborhood confreres. Everybody means well. But everybody's apt to be interested in his own little, fenced in environ and the limited circle in which he moves. The rush and absorption of modern life necessarily makes this so. The merging of all social interests in one large party, as will be the charity ball, is, therefore, an excellent stimulant for local society. Social distinctions In a town the

; size of Richmond are negligible. Everybody knows everybody else more '. or less, and at least is aware each of

the other's origin. And good feeling is prevalent. We simply don't know each other that's all. And it's a good thing occasionally to get acquainted. Dancing is one of the most charm-

. Ing forms of amusement, properly con- ; ducted.

It gives an opportunity to everyone to express his sense of rhythm. That

sense which is inherent in everyone and to which the universe swings. The primary object of this affair is to get together a fund for the Associated Charities.

I But its minor purpose is to bring to- , gether all the good people of the town

in one large party and to promote general sociability. Sometimes "The Philistine" hits the nail pretty squarely on the head and It does so in the following little verse, whose quotation here may be apropos. If I knew you and you knew me If both of us could clearly see And with an inner sight divine The meaning of your heart and mine, I'm sure that we would differ less And clasp our hands in friendliness: Our thoughts would pleasantly agree If I knew you and you knew me.

Since we are on the subject of events for the benefit of local public charities, attention is called here to the concert to. be given the first week in January, whose surplus, above expenses, will be turned over to the antituberculosis society for the beginning of a fund for the establishment of a Tuberculosis Hospital. The Wayne County Association accepted the offer of the writer of this column to this effect the other evening. The concert had already been arranged for and will be given at the Murray theater on Sunday afternoon. The people everywhere are being aroused to the necessity of local activity toward the eradication of tuberculosis. In this community it has taken the form of the establishment of a hospital for the care of cases in advanced stages. The amount is comparatively small about one thousand dollars. That is, good good work could he accomplished with a start of that sum. With this the "shacks" as they are called could be put Into place and operations at once begun. A long article on the absolute necessity of this recently appeared here. But It cannot be reiterated too often. The entire medical fraternity of Wayne County, as well as the charitable organizations, are at one as to this, as before stated. A certain financier once made a famous dictum. "The way to resume is to resume," he stated. The way, therefore, to begin a Tuberculosis Hospital is to begin. Therefore the offer of the writer. While the sum might not be over $200 or $300, still this would be a substantial start toward such a fund. The seating capacity of the Murray theater is limited and the price of the concert will be popular, fifty cents.

The eight boxes will be sold out at $5 each. And no extra charge will be made for reserved seats. The program will be presented by

two well known musical artists, one of 1 whom Is a leading professional harpist, j j And it will be brief and varied j In including a harp soloist the writer wished to give the local public an opportunity to hear this infrequently Included instrument. I The harp solo played by a "member of the Innes band was the most sucj cessful number on the band's program. People love the harp but have few chances to hear it, save in occasional orchestral ensemble. j The harpist who will appear here has made a musical reputation and will give a series of group numbers on this instrument, besides accompanying the soloist j The Wayne County Association for I the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis whose name ia of such proportions that it must, perforce, be referred to now and then as the Anti-Tuberculosis Society should have the support 6f the public In Its undertaking to erect or establish this Hospital ' and will no doubt receive it.

Lectures and concerts for charitable

objects are usual and lawfully permls,sable on Sunday. The 'writer has already received many assurances of attendance. This concert, as stated the other day had been arranged for and was merely utilized as a means for the Hospital end. It will be a medium through which a number of small contributions can be made for the latter and make a substantial beginning for the Hospital fund.

Has perfect digestion from the use of a well-known remedy that all can obtain. The temper of the family and the good cheer around the table, depend so much on the good digestion of each individual present that the experiences of some former dyspeptics who overcame their trouble should be of interest to those now suffering in this way. The best advice one can give but it is advice that is seldom heeded is to eat slowly and masticate each mouthful carefully. However, if slow eating and careful mastication fail the next aid is one close to nature. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This remedy is an excellent digestant, and in addition to helping in the digestion of the food, acts gently on the liver and bowels, ridding them of the accumulation of waste that should long ago have been passed off. It is safe, reliable, pleasant-tasting, and results are guaranteed. In the opinion of such people as Mr. G. M. O'Neal, Hamilton, O., and Mrs. Justine Wolden, 41 25th St., Milwaukee, Wis., it is the ideal remedy for indigestion, no matter how severe, constipation, no matter how chronic, biliousness, headaches, gas on : the stomach, drowsiness after eating and similar annoyances. You can obtain & bottle at any drug store for . fifty cents or one dollar, the latter size being bought by heads of families already .familiar with its merits. When you use Syrup Pepsin you will see the falacy of chewing mints and tablets or of taking cathartics, salts,

Unlike these, Syrup Pepsin does not lose. its good effect, and by automatically training the stomach and bowel muscles to do their work, soon restores these organs to normal. If no member of your family has ever used Syrup Pepsin and you would like to make a personal trial of it before buying it in the regular way of a druggist, Bend your address a postal will do to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 413 Washington St., Monticello, 111., and a, free, sample bottle will be mailed you. Results are always guaranteed or money will be -refunded. ...
